    The Urban Voodoo Machine
    We know what you?re thinking. You?re thinking: ?Why should I care about The UrbanVoodoo Machine? They?ve been around for ages, haven?t they? Aren´t they a noveltyband who wears funny make-up? Don´t they sometimes play jazz? Aren?t half ofthem dead or something??So bear with us, sunshine, cos you clearly need educating.The story starts with Paul-Ronney Angel, a man with a double-barrelled firstname. I could be a wanker about this and say the story starts with Bon Scott-era AC/DC ? with Tom Waits, or the Clash, Louis Armstrong, the Pogues, the SensationalAlex Harvey Band, Johnny Cash, Lionel Bart or Bertolt Brecht ? but let?s stick withPaul-Ronney, it?s quicker. Paul-Ronney Angel ate his parents and fled the fjords ofNorway with just a bottle of moonshine and several slices of decomposing fish in hisback pocket. (Before he left they tried him in the Norwegian Army ? he lasted a totalof five hours.) After that, Angel washed up in London during the dying breaths of Thatcherism andtook advantage of all that swinging London had to offer: he sold The Big Issue,busked Johnny Thunders & Robert Johnson numbers in Soho bus stops and playedguitar for anyone who´d have him.The Urban Voodoo Machine came to him in 2002 as a fully-formed idea. He´d lead aband who´d play ?Bourbon Soaked Gypsy Blues Bop?n?Stroll?. They?d dress inblack and red. There would be a LOT of them. And their music would sound like agreat night out in a dangerous part of town. From the get-go, The UVM fusedjunkyard blues and stinging rockabilly with mariachi horns, fiddles, sinister cabaretand punk rock tangos. I wanted to play rock´n´roll music with a differentinstrumentation, says Angel, taking inspiration from everything from delta blues,latin and gypsy music without losing the spirit and attitude of punk. His lyrics ? partLemmy, part Bob Dylan ? made other (more acclaimed) songwriters sound totally.Fucking. Boring.We´re not Americana and were definitely not ´retro´, says Angel. I write songsabout living in London right now. Although having a shit time, no money, heartbreak,mental illness, addiction and suppression from the big guy is kinda universal andtimeless, I guess??Yeah-yeah-yeah,? you?re thinking, ?but can they cut it live?? Well, there?s a reasonwhy they?ve played Glastonbury, Download, Latitude, Bestival, Hard Rock Callingand toured with The Pogues and New York Dolls. With an act honed alongside theburlesque dancers, snake-charmers and fire-eaters they call friends, The UVM havebecome one of the greatest live acts in the country ? terrifyingly bizarre, hystericallyfunny; a riot for the eyes and sensation for the ears: a sing-a-long, drink-a-long, clapa-long affair.In 2006 they launched the Gypsy Hotel Club in the then-unfashionable part ofLondon´s East End, Dalston, a monthly Bourbon Soaked Snake Charmin´ Rock´n´Roll Cabaret night for likeminded misfits, movers and shakers. Time Out Magazine wrote,If you have 12 hours to live, spend it at Gypsy Hotel!Magazines and newspapers have lauded them for their ?mariachi-influenced blues,whiskey-soaked country rags and punkabilly-style rave-ups? (The Washington Post)and noted that they?re ?drawing deep from a dirty well where Tom Waits, Nick Caveand Dick Dale are enjoying a burlesque all-nighter with Ennio Morricone (ClassicRock). They became one of the few bands that could appear on Clive Anderson?sLoose Ends on BBC Radio 4 and Britain?s biggest heavy metal festival Download inthe same year and win at both.In 2014, when Paul-Ronney named their third album Love, Drink & Death! he hadno idea what the year had in store. In October, fiddle-player Rob Skipper died ofan accidental heroin overdose, aged just 28. Guitarist Nick Marsh (formerly frontmanof Flesh For Lulu) fought throat cancer throughout that year. He died in June 2015,aged 53. The Voodoo Machine transformed themselves into a New Orleans-stylemarching band for his funeral. The Urban Voodoo Machine Marching Band alsoplayed the Classic Rock Awards that year - the only band to do so without electricity.And that brings us to new album Hellhound Hymns. Marsh plays on eight of its 13songs. (Angel: He was really putting the hours in when he knew the cancer hadcome back. He was like, ´Right, these might be my last recordings with this band, solet´s roll the tape and make it a good one!) To borrow one of the song titles, it?s allmixed-up. It?s part wake, part protest, part valediction ? a party at the gates of hell ?because the greatest tribute you can pay the dead is to live life to the full: ?We willsing and we will dance/We will drink and we will laugh/We will not forget the past andour fallen brothers??

    The Great Gatsby
    With an Introduction and Notes by Guy Reynolds, University of Kent at Canterbury.Generally considered to be F. Scott Fitzgerald's finest novel, The Great Gatsby is a consummate summary of the "roaring twenties", and a devastating expose of the 'Jazz Age'.Through the narration of Nick Carraway, the reader is taken into the superficially glittering world of the mansions which lined the Long Island shore in the 1920s, to encounter Nick's cousin Daisy, her brash but wealthy husband Tom Buchanan, Jay Gatsby and the mystery that surrounds him.The Great Gatsby is an undisputed classic of American literature from the period following the First World War and is one of the great novels of the twentieth century.

    Sergei Rachmaninoff (eBook, ePUB)
    Throughout his career as composer, conductor, and pianist, Sergei Rachmaninoff (1873-1943) was an intensely private individual. When Bertensson and Leyda's 1956 biography appeared, it lifted the veil of secrecy from several areas of Rachmaninoff's life, especially concerning the genesis of his compositions and how their critical reception affected him.The authors consulted a number of people who knew Rachmaninoff, who worked with him, and who corresponded with him. Even with the availability of such sources and full access to the Rachmaninoff Archive at the Library of Congress, Bertensson and Leyda were tireless in their pursuit of privately held documents, particularly correspondence. The wonderfully engaging product of their labors masterfully incorporates primary materials into the narrative.Almost half a century after it first appeared, this volume remains essential reading.Sergei Bertensson, who knew Rachmaninoff, published other works on music and film, often with a documentary emphasis.
